A critical issue to be settled: God has a calling for every one of His children!
Truth: God created and saved me for a Kingdom purpose.
Some excuses for why I do not respond to God’s calling in my life.
Excuse #1 (Ex. 3:11): Who am I?
- Reason for the excuse: I don’t really know me.
- God’s Response (Ex. 3:12): I will be with you!
Excuse #2 (Ex. 3:13): Who are You?
- Reason for the excuse: I don’t really know God.
- God’s Response (Ex. 3:14): I am all-sufficient!
Excuse #3 (Ex. 4:1): What about them?
- Reason for the excuse: I am afraid of how people will react.
- God’s Response (Ex. 4:2-9): That’s my problem, not yours!
Excuse #4 (Ex. 4:10): I can’t do it!
- Reason for the excuse: I’m unqualified.
- God’s Response (Ex. 4:4:11-12): I take responsibility for your weaknesses!
Excuse #5 (Ex. 4:13): I won’t do it.
- Reason for the excuse: I’m inflexible.
- God’s Response (Ex. 4:14-17): I can do it without you!
What will happen when I am obedient to God’s calling in my life (Ex. 4:17, 20)?
God will use me beyond my abilities to reveal His power and display His glory!
